    postbox notifications


    so recently bought the Postbox email program which i find to work great.
    just one thing i cant seem to work out ...
    if i close the app, i get no notifications in action center, like i used to with any other email client i used before (windows mail&calender , thunderbird , outlook ect.)
    as soon as i open Postbox ,the notifications pop up.
    I've looked in notification settings ,postbox doesn't even appear there , i looked in background apps , Postbox doesn't appear there .
    I've contacted their customer support ...no answer yet .
    Postbos IS set as default email client.
    any1 using Postbox here have an idea ? or any idea in general?
    Thanks

    If you close the app then it is not running so can't check for messages.

    I had a quick look at support and the only option that I can see is "minimize to system tray" so do that and leave it running.

    yes i can understand that , but that's why i said with the various other email apps i had ,they were also closed yet i got notifications.
    that's also why i checked background processes but Postbox doesn't appear there

    EDIT: now that i think of it , when i do open Postbox and the popups appear ,its different than the notification centre popups .Its like its own popup in the bottom right corner ...

    I haven't used an email client for some time now. I just use web mail. I did use Thunderbird, EM Client and a few others but don't remember seeing email notifications when the clients were not running.

    Searching their support site for "notifications" only seems to produce results on configuring sound notifications.

    reply i got from Postbox customer care
    "Postbox has its own notification system outside of the Windows action center. Are you receiving the notifications from the Postbox app?" (yes i am but that's not the point)

    weird that a paid service wouldn't be integrated into windows notifications, while FREE services is ...

    anyway ,no biggie i supose , was just used to getting email notifications as soon as they arrive.
    now i gotta open the client to see if any new mail

    gonna search for refund options now

    UPDATE: refunded ...and goodbye Postbox
